Swiss-based employment company Adecco has announced that its board “has so far found no evidence demonstrating any major misappropriations or irregularities that would be financially significant to the company as a whole.”

It did concede there were instances of local misappropriations and irregularities, mainly at the branch level, in certain countries.

The company added that its board “does not believe these instances will turn out to be financially significant to the company as a whole, although, as any such conduct would be, they are nonetheless of concern to the company.”
